Defining the narrator of the hadith, explaining the definition of the qudsi hadith, and the difference between it and the Noble Qur'an.

The Shaykh : First, the narrator of this hadith is Abu Dharr al-Ghifari, the famous Companion. Part of his fame is his extreme asceticism, which distinguished him from the rest of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Few people know the name of Abu Dharr, so the author mentioned him by his kunyah, adding his name to it. His name is Jundub, and his father's name is Janadah. So Abu Dharr's name is Jundub ibn Janadah. He narrates this hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). However, he stated that he is narrating from Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) that He said. That is, this hadith is one of the qudsi hadiths, not one of the ordinary Prophetic hadiths. The difference between the qudsi hadith and the Prophetic hadith is that the qudsi hadith is narrated by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from his Lord (Mighty and Majestic), from His words (Blessed and Exalted is He) and His speech, just as the Companion narrates the ordinary hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), from his words and his speech. So the qudsi hadith is narrated by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from his Lord (Blessed and Exalted is He) that He said such and such. This hadith that is before us now is one of these qudsi hadiths. The distinguishing feature between the ordinary hadith and the qudsi hadith is that in the ordinary hadith, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) does not mention that Allah said this speech. For example, This is an ordinary Prophetic hadith in which the Companion says, "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said," As you can see, it does not mention that Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) said it. The opposite is the case, and there are many examples of ordinary hadiths; they are the majority of all hadiths. As for the qudsi hadith, it is distinguished by the fact that the Messenger (peace be upon him) begins it by saying, "Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) said," as in this hadith and as in other hadiths, which are not few. For example, his saying (peace be upon him), Here too, the Messenger (peace be upon him) says, "Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) said." So we have learned the difference between the ordinary hadith and the Prophetic hadith, and it is a clear difference. Every... qudsi hadith. Yes, we have learned the difference between the ordinary hadith and the qudsi hadith, and the difference between them is clear. Every hadith in which you hear that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah the Exalted said such and such," is a qudsi hadith. After we have learned this difference between the ordinary Prophetic hadith and the qudsi hadith, we must know the difference between the qudsi hadith and the Noble Qur'an. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said in the Noble Qur'an, we say, So the entire Qur'an, from its beginning to its end, is the speech of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). So what is the difference, then, between the speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) written in the mushaf and the qudsi hadith? The difference is from two aspects. The first aspect is that the Qur'an is the speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in His own wording and meaning, and this is established by mass transmission (tawatur), which makes it impossible for a single letter to be added or subtracted. As for the qudsi hadith, it is not narrated through the path of the Qur'an, i.e., the mushaf, nor is it narrated through the path of mass transmission, except for very rare cases. Rather, it comes through the path of individual transmission (ahad), and it is not necessary in the path of individual transmission to preserve even a single letter. It is possible that the Companion himself, when he heard this qudsi hadith, for example, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), may have placed one word in place of another word because they share the same meaning. The wording differs, but the meaning is the same. From this aspect, the Prophetic hadith differs from the Noble Qur'an. There is another difference between the qudsi hadith and the Noble Qur'an, which is that the Qur'an is a miracle in its eloquence and clarity, whereas the Prophetic hadith is not at the level of the Noble Qur'an. The qudsi hadith is not at the level of the Noble Qur'an in terms of its eloquence and clarity. Also, we are commanded to worship by reciting the Qur'an, as in his saying (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him), من قرأ القرآن فله بكل حرف عشر حسنات لا أقول ألم حرف ولكن ألف حرف لام حرف ميم حرف Whoever recites the Qur'an, he has ten good deeds for every letter. I do not say "Alif-Lam-Mim" is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter, and Mim is a letter. This virtue, which the scholars express by saying that we are commanded to worship by reciting the Qur'an, is a specific characteristic of the Qur'an and not of the hadith. This means that if you recite any hadith, even if it is a qudsi hadith, you do not get ten good deeds for every letter. This is a matter specific to the Noble Qur'an. But of course, you have reward for its recitation, its mention, and its narration, though less than the reward for reciting the Qur'an. After this explanation of the difference between the Qur'an and the qudsi hadith from one aspect, and the explanation of the difference between the qudsi hadith and the ordinary hadith from another aspect.
